At present, these roads have been unable to meet the increasing demand of transportation and social development because of the decline of transportation capacity caused by various road diseases. It is inevitable to widen the existing highway. In the old road widening project, because the settlement of the old road subgrade has been stable for many years, almost no deformation occurs, while the settlement time of the new road subgrade is short, consolidation produces new settlement, and the joint of the new and old subgrade will produce uneven settlement. If it goes beyond a certain range, it will produce longitudinal cracks, resulting in the pavement breaking under the load, which has a great impact on the driving quality.

  • Implementation Example
  • Step 1: the geocell is made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) as the base material, and conductive polymer is added in the production process to make conductive composite material, so that the geocell has conductive function.
  • Step 2: carry out the preliminary test on the geocell sheet with conductive function to determine the tensile strength of the geocell sheet and the relationship between the deformation of the composite material and the change of resistance, as an important change rule of using resistance to reflect the deformation of the geocell sheet. To determine the relationship between the deformation of polymer cell sheet and the change of resistance, the following formula can be obtained:
  • Ω Ω 0 = A ɛ 2 + B ɛ + C
  • Wherein, Ω0 is the standard resistance value of the polymer, Ω is the actual resistance value of the polymer, c is the tensile strain value of the conductive polymer, and A, B and C are coefficients.
  • Step 3: in order to make the new and old embankments closely connected and reduce the differential settlement of consolidation of the new and old embankments, it is generally necessary to cut the slopes of the old embankments and excavate the steps, which can remove the soil with insufficient compaction of the surface layer of the old embankment slope at a certain depth, improve the contact area between the new filling part and the old embankment at the joint, increase the friction resistance and shear resistance of the joint part, and be able to work in the abutment Geocell is set on the step.
  • According to the soil mass of the slope and the foundation under the slope, the method of equal slope cutting can be adopted, that is, the slope can be cut along the same width of the old road slope without changing the slope of the old road slope; the method of variable slope cutting can also be adopted, that is, the slope of the cut slope is greater than the slope of the old road slope. When the slope cutting is steep, it is easy to cause the collapse of the old subgrade. The method of gradual slope cutting can be used for many times. Each slope cutting is used for partial foundation treatment, and then the slope cutting is carried out to ensure the stability of the old road slope. The method of variable slope cutting is adopted, i.e. the original embankment slope of 1:1.5 is cut by 1:0.5 and 1:1.0 respectively.
  • Generally, the excavation of slope steps shall be carried out after slope cutting. There are two main methods of bench excavation: one is bottom-up excavation, which is currently used in most expressways; the other is top-down excavation. The first method is divided into two kinds: one is to excavate all steps and then fill the widened subgrade; the other is to excavate and fill at the same time, that is to say, after the widened subgrade is filled to the first step, the second step is dug.
  • In this example, the old road slope is excavated into steps with a height of 100 cm and a width of 150 cm. The method of excavating from bottom to top and then filling the new subgrade or excavating and filling at the same time is adopted. After the step excavation, the excavation surface is cleaned first, the loose soil on the surface is removed, the surface of the step is leveled and compacted manually. After the old subgrade is leveled, the new subgrade shall be filled to slightly higher than the old subgrade, and the new subgrade shall be compacted first, with the compaction height no more than 3-5 mm from the old subgrade. The geocell based on conductive polymer is tensioned to the widened subgrade to ensure that the cell is fully tensioned. Each cell has the same size and regular shape, and is initially fixed with U-shaped steel bolt.
  • Step 4: check whether the sheet of geocell is complete. If any damage or fracture is found, handle it in time. The outer side of the line embankment led out by the geocell plays an early warning role in the process of detection and operation. If there is no bad problem in geocell, it can be filled. When filling the reinforced layer of geocell, attention shall be paid to ensure that the geocell is fully tensioned and completed within one day. The particle size of the filling material shall not be too large and shall be controlled at about 3-6 mm. The filling method of the reinforced layer of the lattice shall be manual filling to ensure that the filling material inside the lattice is relatively uniform, and at the same time to eliminate the large deformation of the inclination that may occur during the filling process of the lattice. When the filling is completed, the height of the filling material shall be about 150 mm higher than the top height of the lattice. Then carry out manual compaction. During the compaction process, try to keep the tensile state of geocell and the shape of the cell. After the filling of this layer is basically completed, manual compaction can be changed into mechanical spreading of large area filling.
  • Step 5: before rolling, the flatness and moisture content of the filling layer shall be checked, and rolling can only be carried out after meeting the requirements. Bulldozer shall be used for initial leveling, and then grader shall be used for paving and leveling according to the layer thickness. In the process of compaction, the vibratory roller is used, and the static pressure leveling without vibration is carried out once at first, and it is slow first and then fast, from weak vibration to strong vibration.
  • Step 6: after the first geocell reinforcement layer is filled and compacted, first check whether the compactness of the subgrade meets the construction requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, carry out supplementary compaction until it meets the compactness requirements. If the compactness meets the requirements, carry out the next process, connect the lead from step 4 with the megger, and check whether the conductivity function of the geocell is normal.
  • Step 7: repeat steps 3 to 6 above when filling the second layer and laying the lattice.
  • The embodiment also relates to a monitoring method for uneven settlement of new and old subgrade and a safety early warning mechanism. The geocell based on conducting polymer has the function of conducting electricity. Through the relationship between the resistivity and the deformation of the geocell, the deformation of geocell is fed back in real time according to the change of the resistivity of geocell. According to the important change rule of geocell deformation reflected by the resistance measured in the laboratory, a deformation threshold value is set as the maximum resistance value Ωmax corresponding to the dislocation deformation of the new and old subgrade, which is the allowable resistance value of the conductive polymer geocell. The safety factor is as follows:
  • k = Ω 0 Ω max
  • If k>1, that is, the actual resistance value of conductive polymer is higher than the allowable resistance value of geocell polymer, that is, the strain value of geocell is greater than the allowable maximum strain, then the road surface has a risk of cracking, otherwise, the road surface has no risk of cracking. The specific operation steps are as follows:
  • Connect the outer end of the reserved conductor in step 4 with the megger, and record the initial resistance value. When the settlement and deformation of the subgrade cause the deformation of the geocell, the geocell will be deformed by the external force, which makes its own resistance change significantly. By detecting the resistance change between different positions on the geocell, the deformation of the geocell and the position of the deformation will be confirmed, and the deformation of the new and old subgrade will be further confirmed Judgment is used to predict the risk degree of widening pavement cracking. On this basis, do a good job in maintenance and repair of widened pavement.
  • The geocell based on conductive polymer can improve the strength of the geocell sheet, strengthen the reinforcement effect of the geocell on widening the subgrade structure, and reduce the uneven settlement between the new and old subgrade; on the other hand, the geocell with conductive polymer has a certain degree of strength The function of geocell is to reflect the deformation of geocell under the upper load by measuring the resistance change of geocell in the working process. When the deformation of geocell exceeds the allowable deformation value, the road surface is in danger of cracking.
  • According to the preliminary test of the geocell sheet based on conductive polymer, the tensile strength of the geocell sheet and the relationship between the deformation of composite material and the change of resistance are measured as the important change rule of the geocell sheet deformation reflected by the resistance. The relationship between the resistivity of the material and the length and area of the material is formula 2:
  • ρ = RS L
  • Where ρ is the resistivity, L is the length of the material, S is the area, and R is the resistance value. Resistivity has nothing to do with the length and cross-sectional area of the conductor material. It belongs to the electrical property of the material itself, which is determined by the conductor material. However, it is not difficult to see from the above formula that the resistance of the material is directly proportional to the length of the material, that is, the longer the length is, the greater the resistance of the material is; and it is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material, that is, the cross-sectional area is, when the material and the length are not changed The larger the area, the smaller the resistance.
  • After the geocell is laid, check whether the compactness meets the requirements, and connect the reserved wire into the ohmmeter to observe whether the reading is normal and whether the functionality is complete. By using this kind of special geocell, we can monitor the deformation of new and old roadbed. After the completion of the construction, first measure the post construction resistance of the geocell, which is recorded as the initial resistance a According to Formula 1, the initial deformation value of the geocell can be obtained; when the measured actual resistance value exceeds the threshold value Ωmax, at this time, the strain value of the safety factor k>1 cell is greater than the allowable maximum strain, then the road surface is in danger of cracking, which will give an early warning to the terminal, because the splicing section is in progress Reinforcement treatment shall be carried out to prevent potential safety hazards.
  • The above geocell based on conductive polymer can strengthen the connection strength of the new and old subgrade joints and reduce the uneven settlement between the new and old subgrade. At the same time, it can also monitor the change of resistance in the geocell in real time, and then monitor the deformation of the geocell. When the deformation is larger than the allowable maximum strain, it will end It can repair the large deformation area and avoid the occurrence of potential safety hazards. This scheme has important innovative value and engineering significance in subgrade widening project, and has broad application prospects, which is conducive to promotion and application.
